She posted a video mouthing along to the trending sound: “I hate it when girls are like, ‘Oh my gosh, my crush doesn’t even know that I exist.’ Girl, my crush doesn’t even exist!”

Zayn has been single since splitting from girlfriend Gigi Hadid in October 2021, the pair had been together on and off since they first began dating in 2015, but they continue to co-parent their two-year-old son, Khai.

This isn't the first time the One Direction star and 'Lose You To Love Me' singer have been linked, during a series of heated comments on one of Justin Bieber's Instagram posts in 2016, the singer implied that Selena had been unfaithful.

Justin responded to his own cheating claims and replied to Selena: "I cheated.. oh I forgot about You and Zayn?"

To which she responded: "I'm done. I have Selenators to meet."

Selena and Zayn have yet to publicly comment on the media attention surrounding their speculated relationship.
